Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“What kind of expressions do you two cowards have? Isn’t it just the Asura battle team? Everyone has just a pair of heads on a set of shoulders. What’s there to be afraid of!?” Xiao Fei was very displeased with the two cowardly people.
“Ahem, Your Majesty, it’s a pair of shoulders carrying a head.” Yao Ailun laughed bitterly. Sometimes, it was indeed a blessing to not know. The principal was naturally a very strong existence, but not in the aspect of military affairs. To be more accurate, even after becoming a principal, Xiao Fei did not invest much effort and energy in this aspect. She could not understand how battle power was so different among people, even though they were all people.
“Teacher, this is indeed quite tough,” Chen Xiu said.
“Little Xiu, Yao Ailun is too cowardly. You tell me, what are our chances for victory?” Xiao Fei sat on the sofa. After showering, her whole body glowed with an attractive, mature aura. Classmate Chen Xiu felt nothing at all. In his eyes, Professor Xiao Fei was God. As for Yao Ailun, he did not dare to look. Based on his power, he would definitely be criticized to the ashes by the principal. Hence, Yao Ailun looked down embarrassedly. He was relatively calm.
“Chances of victory, perhaps 10... 20%.” Chen Xiu fiercely added 10% based on the fact that they were his own people.
Xiao Fei was momentarily stunned. “You mean we totally have no chance of winning?”
“Master, could it be you don’t know?” Yao Ailun had helplessness written all over his face. He was someone who had witnessed the miracles Wang Zheng had performed to reach his current position. But he realized that imagination and reality were too different. The Asura battle team’s strength surpassed imagination. This was also expected. The Arbiter Republic had been fierce for so many years. This accumulation of many years of continuous hard work had given birth to terrifyingly strong people like Olivios and Marzu. Even the most talented battle team, Imperial Glory, could only return defeated. What else could they ask of Saruman Snake?
“If that’s the case, then Wang Zheng told me that it’s fine and they had a 50-50 chance. That guy is usually low key. I think that no matter what, they have a 60% chance of winning,” Xiao Fei said.
Yao Ailun and Chen Xiu looked at each other. This... could be a 50-50 chance?
Where did he get his confidence?
Not to mention outsiders, the two of them were definitely insiders, but they could not believe such a judgment. A 50-50 chance, what 50-50 chance?
“It’ll be fine, it’ll be fine, sleep early and give me your energetic selves tomorrow. We, the people from Ares College, definitely cannot cower!” Xiao Fei said. “You guys may leave now.”
Yao Ailun and Chen Xiu left helplessly. Professor Xiao Fei was really calm. Winning or losing would not have much effect on Ares College, but to the countless Earthlings who were looking forward to a victory for this round, that was the difference between man and God.
That year, Wang Zheng led the Solar System battle team to be only one step away from the championship of IG, but ultimately lost to the Arbiters.
Now the same opportunity had arrived again, and the stage was bigger. Standing at the finals of the Greatest King Championship, their opponent was still that opponent, but what would the result be?
No one knew.
Yao Ailun and Chen Xiu both could not sleep. They were not as mentally strong as Professor Xiao Fei. No matter what they tried, they could not sleep. Their brains were filled with possibilities. Perhaps they might have some inspiration that could tell them the weakness of the Asura battle team.
This was a nervous night for many people.
But time would still pass bit by bit. Finally, the second round of the Greatest King would begin.
Would it be the Asura battle team to reach the top and be crowned king directly, or would the Saruman Snake battle team create a miracle?
At this moment on Earth, Ares College was already packed with people. It was not only the college that was packed, but there were also numerous students outside the college. They were from other colleges. Many were not from military academies. Perhaps they might not understand the contents of the battle, but they at least knew one point. This was the first time in more than a decade that someone could represent Earth, represent the Solar System, to stand on the stage of such a high level military combat competition.
Victory or defeat?
The crowded Ares College was anticipating. Those military academy students were even neatly wearing their school uniforms, anticipating that their seniors would create a miracle.
There were countless youths who had chosen Ares College because of Wang Zheng and Zhang Shan. The power of role models and faith was limitless.
Arbiter Republic was extra relaxed facing this second round. The Arbiter Military Academy was still crowded, but lacked the seriousness of the first round. People were mostly here to witness the moment Asura reached the top instead of watching the Saruman Snake battle team.
Such an honor, such a sight, Arbiter had a lot of these already. After defeating Aslan, their faces were relaxed and calm. This was a depth from continuous accumulation of victories. This was not arrogance, but confidence.
It was still very lively inside and outside the Elite Academy. Saruman Snake, of course, did not have much chances of victory, but that was not important. Everyone was here to see Asura, to see the godly control of the Arbiters, and at the same time witness the birth of the first strongest king.
Jasper, Jiang Feng, and the other professors would naturally be there. This was the first project that would bring the Elite Academy towards the world. It was very successful at the moment. It was now time to reap what they sowed.
But to the professors, deep in their hearts, they actually did not want the Asura battle team to win so easily. This stage was prepared for the whole Milky Way Alliance. But if ultimately it became a two person show between Arbiter and Aslan, then it would not be meaningful.
Of the three strongest, there was only one Saruman Snake battle team. It seemed a little lacking. Actually, the professor teaching the Cycle Five Elements had hoped that the Dynasty battle team would win one spot, but ultimately they lost it all. It was really a pity. If they could squeeze away either Asura or Imperial Glory and form a sandwich attack, then the situation would be much better. It was a pity, the ideal remained an ideal situation. At the moment, the most plausible result was that Saruman Snake be eliminated by two defeats. They might even become a source of pride and enjoyment for the angered Imperial Glory battle team to vent their frustrations.
How would they fight this battle?
People from the battle tactics department naturally stood from the perspective of the underdog and considered the situation. But the various proposals they planned were all useless when faced with Asura. Because Asura was too steady, they were steady to the point it was despairing for their opponents. They did not give their opponents any chance. And Asura would not make any obvious mistakes, unless the opponent could defeat them directly.
Members from both sides were in the preparation stage. The viewing hall was already filled. This was the first time in the week that the Imperial Glory members had shown themselves in public. Throughout the entire week, they all hid deep and seldom went out. This was indeed a headache for Aslan, who cared a lot about their face. However, Princess Aina and Princess Huiyin appeared frequently. They faced the public openly, to prove that Aslan could take a loss.
Di Maria’s psychological resilience was still very strong. If he could not adapt after such a long period, he could go home and rear pigs instead. Any stronger ability on him would be a waste. The Atlantean beside him, Heracles, however, totally felt no trauma in losing. He was very calm. Heracles sat beside Aina.
His expression was especially serious. It was unlike the usual condition of Atlanteans. “Di Maria, this round of competition is very important to us.”
Di Maria was stunned. “What are you trying to say?”
“The Saruman Snake battle team is very strong. They are not much weaker than Asura,” Heracles suddenly said.
There was not much change on the surface for Di Maria. But he was stumped in his heart. Was this a joke, was this Heracles beaten till he became stupid?
He did not really like Atlanteans. While this guy was serious during training, he still worked well as a team. He was also not an Aslan individual. Actually, Imperial Glory did not lack in power without this one Atlantean. Besides, this guy was useless. He was directly KO-ed by Marzu in a second. If he could have held on for a while longer, perhaps the situation would be different.
“Oh, are you trying to say that we will lose to Saruman Snake?” Di Maria said lightly. While Imperial Glory had lost to Asura, this was something he admitted; it was the price to pay for growth. But he would not repeat his mistake.
Heracles did not reply. He felt the emotions from Di Maria. Humans were always so emotional.
